Bainfield and Midlothian enter the final fixtures in the A Division of the gents indoor bowls Premier League with no relegation zone concerns but still have an incentive to perform with 100percent effort as their respective outcomes can influence both ends of the table.

Motivation can be an issue when sitting in the comfort of a safety zone that win or lose won叙 change dramatically however Bainfield visit an Alloa team that is fighting for its life to escape the automatic foot of the table relegation position. Alloa share the 4 point mark with an Ayr team that is 30 shots better off and also finish with a home game advantage; but they lock horns with a Falkirk team in with a chance of piping joint leaders Blantyre for top spot and a place in the playoff final.

Blantyre have a massive 177 shot margin advantage over their rival; but the richly talented Lanarkshire outfit can be vulnerable away from home and today climax to the league is against Midlothian at Dalkeith.

Bainfield have yet to win an away fixture and attempt to rectify that at the expense of their foot of the table opposition and to do so without the help of experienced star Alan Brown who in his hey days won 18 caps between 1990 and 1995.

Balbardie gents will escape the automatic relegation place in the B Division of the Premier League if able to beat fellow strugglers Paisley by 30 shots and with home advantage at Bathgate the atmosphere could sizzle or fizzle.

West Lothian IBC have won Division 1 North out of sight with nine wins from nine but with travel costs a factor have conceded fixture number 10 to unchallengeable second placed Elgin.
